It doesn't have a CO yet, so regular homeowners isn't an option.

For me - Subto has been tremendously helpful for me.The post wasn't about BP, which I thoroughly enjoy visit regularly and use the online calc tools incredibly often.~ Randy  

Hi @Jorge Vazquez I agree it was mainly lawsuits, scams and fraud that drove up the rates but how are regular investors and homeowners supposed to absorb these huge increases.

The returns are not as high as I get in the United States compared to the lease options that I do with single-family homes, but the enjoyment that I get from visiting these properties and hosting investor retreats out there is so much greater than any regular investments that I have in the states.Let me know if you have any questions about the things that I’ve mentioned.

Great tools that get updated regularly. 

Make sure you get regular statements of that account to make sure they are not tapping into the deposits.

They can get you access to conventional lending, and loans insuredunder CMHC (regular, as well as MLI select).

Can you keep it rented on a regular basis? 

Hey BP Community - My employer does not match 401k contributions so I'm considering abandoning the contributions altogether and instead investing in something like the SPY ETF on a regular basis. 

Then I could start purchasing regular investment properties.Option B: Find an investment property first (higher interest rate) that pencils out while continuing to live in my condo, and then find another primary I could “trade-up” for with my condo, where I could eventually use it as LTROption C: Just focus on finding investment deals that pencil out at a higher interest rate with existing cash, and when I eventually move out of state, sell Condo.
